United Premier Soccer League Commissioner Yan Skwara said. “We are very excited to finally break the doors down in Las Vegas as we have been working diligently the past six months to develop this great soccer market and have it become part of the UPSL. There is a fantastic youth and adult soccer community in Nevada specifically in Las Vegas. We have pooled together some excellent ownership groups to become part of our league and obviously that creates opportunities for all the great local futbol talent to showcase their skills.  Our Press Conference at the MGM this past weekend was a great success, as we have very positive interest from the local soccer community to the local media. The work has just begun but I think we have the right people, the right teams, the right place and we are at the right time to develop this market. Daniel Collazo our VP for Team Development has done a great job in putting together a great team of local ownership groups and today we have four great teams ready to begin UPSL play. We wish MF10 FC, Inter Acapulco FC, Anahuca FC, and Las Los FC the best of success both on and off the field and we look forward to seeing all the teams working directly into the local soccer community to develop local players, respective fan bases and local business partnerships. We expect some great local derby’s with the local proximity of the teams to one another. The City of Las Vegas can now sit back and enjoy and support some great local competitive Pro Development Futbol and become part of history as we push to develop the UPSL into a National League instituting a Promotions Relegation Soccer Model.”

Las Los FC Owner/Operator Abraham Solis said,“We are very excited to become part of the UPSL for the upcoming 2016 Spring Summer season and also have the ability to participate in the U.S Open Cup 2017 Qualifying Rounds as this is a great honor. Las Vegas brings some very competitive teams to the UPSL and we look forward to competing with the teams from California and Arizona when it comes playoff time. We know the UPSL is very tough competition as the league has now expanded into three states with over 40 competitive teams so we look forward to the challenge of what it takes to become a UPSL Champion.”

The UPSL now consists of four conferences spanning across Southern and Central California, Arizona and Nevada; which include Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, Santa Clarita Valley, Kern County and the Inland Empire.
